The Warp Stealing bug
I have a somewhat hilarious bug for you guys. I, for some reason, was perusing the docking bay of escort trident (which did not belong to me, so I did not have docking privs). I was traveling inside the docking bay (to the point where I'd get the "you cannot dock" messages when I pressed "enter")... and I was still inside the bay (possibly holding enter) when the trident jumped (also, I was targeting the trident when it jumped).
Once it jumped, I attempted to jump and pursue it (since I knew where it had jumped), but I could not get my ship to jump. I was 3000m out, had a target plotted, but the ship would not jump! So I figured I'd go back to the wormhole in the sector and try jumping through that instead. That didn't work either. Not wanting to /explode, I try to reload my interface, which did not help. The way I got my ship to be able to jump again was to logoff while in space and then log back in.
There you have it. The mysterious warp stealing bug!

I've had this happen before. Was your chat working also? If it wasn't, I think it is a lag problem, which I likewise have been unable to fix except by logging on and off.
I was able to chat on all channels, and was able to engage a pilot in-sector prior to logging off/on without any noticeable lag. I can try to reproduce the bug later tonight.
Thanks for the report. A possible cause occurs to me; I'll let you know if I'm wrong and need more info.
